OMC 1987 and Newer 3 Cylinder Linkage Adjustments

[@davidmeyer5483]

That is the best detailed video I have seen on making all the correct adjustments. Full thumbs up.

[@masonstansberry2625]

Thank you for having this video, it's much easier than reading a manual. Please never get rid of it!

[@DG-hp2in]

Thank you for this video it CLEARLY shows what needs to be done for a proper job.

[@weblabdesign]

Thanks at last I can fix my Johnson's likage. I think my linkage is out. The idle speed screw does not even touch. Cam movements are late. The lever of the advance moves late, so I have to keep the minimum at 1300 rpm, otherwise the engine goes off when I enter the gear. Now I can finally fix everything. Thanks again you are a true friend

[@stephencromer1526]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this video! I’m a big visual learner, feeling much more confident!

[@j.mblaze3036]

I got a 60hp that I’m about to this to! I’ve deleted the VRO system, rebuilt carbs! No more fuel leaks! Now going to tackle this! Thank you for this detailed video very much needed help 🚤

[@tonybuttigieg4633]

One of the best explained video I've ever seen . Good job 👍👍👍👍

[@PikachuReesesPieces]

thanks for sharing this its hard to visualize what's in the manual this vid helps immensely

Thank you for posting this video I'm looking for a video like this for a long time

[@kingfish3066]

You are the freaking man Brandon!!!

[@stevewatson3006]

Thanks for the video, just bought the boat seen the throttle wasn't opening all the way , only half way , I bet it will run out better now thanks again

[@billgoodwin1336]

Great video. Wish there were more.

Hi Brandon, are there more videos for working on this type of engine, or was it just for this particular aspect of the engine? Thanks, Ben

Great information, thank you

[@weblabdesign]

Hi brandon, thanks for your advice and videos, i would like to ask you if you have linkage adjustment of johnson 15cv 2 cylinder from 1985? thanks

[@JAdame24]

I have a 1986 Johnson 50hp. I was wondering if you knew what the WOT degree setting should be as well as idle timing degree setting. Idles pretty good, WOT seems a tad off. I just dont want to burn a piston if its too far advanced.

[@ct1762]

WOT timing is a factory set n' forget type deal, unless some dunce decided they knew better than the engineers. However, its very easy to check! timing light and can do it statically with throttle in WOT position, spark plugs out. look for 15-17 degrees (18-21 degrees when motor is running). the 2cyl 1980-1985 60hp motors were 21 degrees, but i wouldnt go that high. id experiment around 18-19 degrees whatever give you the most bottom end punch. your 50 is basically an older 60hp, so very possible it makes more power all the way up to 21 degrees but use high test fuel when doing this to find the sweet spot.

[@mfleming603]

Brandon, @ ~ 8:12, should the throttle lever spring hold the throttle lever against the idle screw? I am trying to complete this process, but when I disconnect the throttle cable, the throttle lever falls away from the idle stop. If I disconnect the spark advance linkage, the whole lever assembly swings freely. The spring does provide tension between the throttle lever and the spark advance lever when you manually advance the throttle lever past the max spark advance position of the spark lever. Hope that makes since.

[@ct1762]

did you disconnect the throttle cable first, then do the adjustments? if it just swings around freely, you will need to service the throttle advancing lever (the one with the big single bolt in the center). there is a bushing in there and shims, i believe. replace those, and you will get resistance back.

[@Troys221]

Does the same technique apply to a v4.

[@robg3284]

great video, about to attack my motor, this will help alot. thanks man

[@clogbustersseweranddraincl2018]

This is a great video. I have an 88’ Johnson 60hp and my throttle cam is the “Two” line style 394466 curious how to do these styles

[@ct1762]

They are easier. Its all in the manual.

[@MrEroz5]

Will this this adjustments apply to a 1977 75hp evinrude looks the same exept the throttle plate on mine has two embossed i know mine has to align with the lower mark

[@bobanderson8356]

Unfortunately, my 1991 Evinrude is different. The idle is set by timing not the "idle adjustment screw" as noted in video, unless I am seeing something wrong.

[@TBrownRecords]

Nice video

[@GringoSF]

Very good the video sir

[@justinhill9750]

How does turning the idle speed screw adjust the idle when there is nothing linked to the throttles(cam follower)?

[@ct1762]

It pushes the whole spark advance arm!

[@jimlattea2242]

Man, my Idle Set screw has been....remove, and theres just a normal bolt screwed into the hole and painted over. It's making it hard for me to find knowledge on how to bump my idle up some.

[@ct1762]

whenever i hear "bump the idle up" it makes me think you have a fuel issue or shot piston skirts, not letting it idle properly.

[@dngendron]

Do you happen to have the video for the two notch cam?

[@1luxuryliner440]

Hey brandon do you have a old school video of 78 to 82 years

[@johanandersson675]

Is there any different on this service with a 1982 70 evinrude? Tnx!

[@Novex2]

I dont think so, its the same for my 1977 Stinger

[@antf0eknee]

I'm looking for this exact video but for a 1977 evinrude 115hp 4 cylinder outboard (115793s). Please Help, thanks in Advance!

[@weblabdesign]

hello i have a problem with cdi johnson 70 tl year 1995. i replaced it with a used one from a friend, but after 10 days this one stopped working too. I have no fire in any of the three sparks. I would like to put a new one, but my fear that some other component will damage the cdi. could be? Thanks Best regards Nicola

[@aleangelocci7115]

Bom dia adorei pena que não entendo inglês sou do Brasil eu tenho um motor Johnson 70n ano 74 e meu motor não tem força para sair eu acho que ta fora de ponto tem como traduzir este vídeo em português

thank u

[@vinhoi69]

What's is a test wheel?

[@danwreak7918]

Do you have any words of wisdom on trying to perform this on a 1980 75hp

[@stephencromer1526]

Did you get it done? Mine is a 1982 75hp E75TRLCNB. Any tips?

[@mdarvy7804]

wow,

[@stevelafrance32]

Wish it showed the cam adjustment without the dial like my 1983 60hp

[@ct1762]

The thumbwheel is just newer and more convenient. To adjust yours just pull out the tiny cotter pin and plastic dowl.

[@1luxuryliner440]

Ill use this one on my 1980 and one 78 i think it will be ok im get busy in morning

[@samsviper]

Hi Brandon, dig your videos, i shared this and the last video on linkage adjustment on v4s on a FB page for omc 3cyl and v4s, hope you dont mind :-) are you following those groups on FB? Best regards from Norway :-)

[@BrandonsGarage]

I don't mind. I've been a long-time poster on forums.boats.net,but I don't usually join many new groups these days. I find when you try to share information a bunch of haters come out of the woodwork to explain how much more they know than everyone else.

I'm looking for a video for linkage adjustment for a 1977 evinrude 115hp. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where to get the piston tool

[@BrandonsGarage]

1985 Or ebay, tis the only way.

It's ashame these boat mechanics clean your carburetor and don't do this also🤔🤔

hey Brandon do you have a email or any contact to get ahold of you directly?

[@surfsalterpath]

....... will your/this video apply to a 1996 FORCE 75hp 3 cylinder and ONLY one carburetor? THANKS!

[@JackieSmooth43]

Anyone know if this works for a 1975 70hp evanrude? I am so lost it’s not even funny

[@dongesswin]

Wish you would buy.... I DOn't know 1982 Johnson 70HP Triple. Not much info at all on that motor. and what's out there is TERRIBLE.

accept the factory service manual. did you buy it yet?
